Door opener to mysteries of all kinds;
chosen attire for unwelcome bank vault visits.
Combined with ski goggles an invitation to
imitate Darth Vader while protecting face.
Prerequisite to experience new forms
of delicious gliding movement on snow.
Storms bow in respect to balaclava’s use
collecting ice, snow still keeping face dry, warm.
Opportunity provider for chance
to role play tough chick persona studette.
While glamour demands hair shaking for some;
others let ice crystals and snow fly in glee.

A thorough exploration of the "face mask" with such an intriguing name (I'd never realized they were called this before, maybe it's Russian?) I never even thought about it being a kind of hat before really, either; just focused on its mask-like abilities. It's neat how you take us through the armed robberies with it; that made me laugh, and back out onto the ski slopes, all with a little Darth Vader humor mixed in. I remember wearing them and finding them very uncomfortable as a kid. Thank you.
